I spent the day at one of the nations top 10 roadside attractions: Casa Bonita Restaurant near Denver, CO. Casa Bonita has been serving Mexican food, fun and entertainment for over 30 years. I am pictured in front of one of the waterfalls, with one of my favorite people at Casa Bonita's....Madame Estrella the fortune teller, and in front of the restaurant.
Here are some interesting facts about this unique place.
Casa Bonita opened at 6715 West Colfax Avenue in the Denver suburb of Lakewood, Colorado in 1974.
It took approximately one year to create Casa Bonita.
The famous pink tower facade is 85 feet fall.
The dome is covered with 22-karat gold leaf and features a statue of the last Aztec emperor - Quahuatomec.
The fountain in front of the restaurant was shipped in pieces from Mexico.
The restaurant boasts over 52,000 square feet and seats over 1,000 guests.
The waterfall, designed to resemble the cliffs of Acapulco, is 30 feet high and the pool is 14 feet deep.
